Thank You Mike!
I received the ring yesterday. I believe you said you found it while metal detecting in October in deep water at XXXXXXXXX beach. Here is a photo of my Dad as a College Frosh:
Here are his scrapbook photos of Summer of '53 while he was with his friends/ HS classmates at that same Park.
That ring may have been lost there that Summer. I figure my Dad was probably on the firm wet sand near the water showing-off to the pretty girls by doing a handstand and then showing how far he could "walk" on his hands! Thanks again.
Mike: I want thank you again for finding my Dad's old XXXXXXXX 1953 ring "EJZ"-and adding an epilogue to his already amazing story.

The last few days in October I was able to get in 5 dives at three different locations. This ring was from my newest spot here in NYC. It took me one hour to find the families of the original owner, then three weeks for them to get back to me. The original owner passed away around 2020. The family has never been to where their father grew up and all of them are more than 350 miles away, in different states.
I never ask for a reward but always ask for a picture of the person I return it to for a picture of them with the ring. I never expected what I got in the next email. These are actual pictures of the owner only weeks after getting the ring and only a few weeks before going to college the summer he lost the ring according to his son. This IS the beach where I found it but in deep water.
I've always wondered things like what was it like when the person that lost whatever it is I found, actually lost the item. When did they lose it. We hear the stories, but I don't think ever have the pictures to go along with it. I had to edit the pictures and text to protect my new spot, I know you understand. It was a 10K 25G ring, one of the largest school ring I've ever found.
